The Pita Hut falafel is about the best I've had in this city, and undoubtedly an excellent value. The kibbeh and the hummus are also very good -- and I'm very happy that they are opening another shop in Hilliard, which will be closer to my house.

However, I'll have to keep looking for a better shawarma: A little Pita Hut shawarma, mixed in a sandwich with vegetables and a few condiments, can indeed be tasty initially; eventually, I find that the flavor becomes vulgar, the result of too much Fenugreek, a spice that can be too intense when not used judiciously. I would also get rid of the turkey -- I'd love to find shawarma that would rely more on lamb than anything else.

Any other good shawarma or homemade gyros shops in Columbus?
